January Freezing Rain

The view on the way into Nanna's to bring her hot food and water.

The view from inside Nanna's kitchen. The tree bent, but did not break.

Pretty

Ice crystals on the way home.

Icy road!

The next day we went back again.

Kinda pretty.

Ice is melting now.

Nanna was without power for about a day and half and we were lucky to only loose it for 12 hours.

Snow flakes.

When you look at one little, beautiful and fragile snowflake it's hard to believe the it could so much - amazing! These wee snowflakes accumulate and work together to bring both good and bad. The same goes for people - never think the work of one person is not enough!

Will Spring EVER come?

Spring, where are you?

March 22, 2014

 

 

 Last Saturday we shoveled the cottage roof. We were actually warm up there. Sunday it was bitterly cold again. Then today, this:

Seriously? This is what we wake up to on the 2nd day of spring?

 

HHmmmmmm....

 

 

March 12, 2014 snow storm

Yet another storm!

Time lapse of the storm, which wasn't as bad as predicted, but still more snow that any of us want!!!

March break 2014

March 10, 2014

 

This is what the cottage looks like right now. We have not been to shovel the roof yet. *sigh* seems like it's been forever since we were last there and like the snow will never go away.

 

I spent the Friday that March break started at a volunteer meeting that was supposed to last 3 hours, but lasted over 5. Since  figured it would be done around 1:00, I did not bring a lunch for Darcy and I, just a few snacks. I let her have all of them. On the way home I got lost twice while very nearly running out of gas. We finally got home and Kevin greeted me with the news that his father had been hospitalized. Nice start to the week off.

 

Sunday I went to a swap meet. I took more stuff than I brought back, but my points are kept for next time.  After that I went to mom's to watch the Oscars. I loved the show this year! Ellen is terrific...ordering pizza for the stars and sending the delivery guy a HUGE tip - I LOVE IT. I went home around 12:30 am, Darcy stayed for the 2nd night of her sleepover.

 

On Saturday, after Darcy's dance class, we went to Bruce's funeral.  I thought about my dad and Kevin's dad and Bruce all mixed together, all day. It was a draining day. Once again everyone but me was in bed by 8:30, just when I come alive...I watched We Bought a Zoo on TV and loved it!

Feb 2, 2014: Could I get a few inches LESS?

 

Really? More snow? I know it's winter in Canada, and it's supposed to be cold and snowy...but I've had ENOUGH!
